It was the first time Balvenie had used a sherry cask to distill a whisky, and it’s their last batch from the Fifties. What is more, unlike other whiskey’s that are moved from cask to cask to add flavors, this one has been in a single sherry cask for the last fifty years.
Sure to take you back to the fifty’s era, this rich, dark-colored whiskey is a treat to all your senses giving a rich smell with hints of Christmas pudding, toffee, and marzipan. Your taste buds will be tantalized upon tasting as the whiskey flavors turn brighter with honey and spices coming through while the finish is round and smooth.
If you are in London, make sure you treat yourself to this exquisite drink.
